Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

People are complicated. Love is not.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

He really is that stupid.

We still have time to mess this up!

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Long day today- bunch of things going on and I had a doctor’s appointment- I have lost 15 lbs since February, and my BP is now 122/75, so the doctor was happy and told me to keep at it, whatever that means.

Anything exciting going on?

    Grats on the good news, John. Avalune and I are getting pedicures tomorrow, followed up by massages on Saturday. This is our second one in two weeks and we’re trying to now do it on a monthly basis. I’m hoping it helps with my recovery. If nothing else, I hope it helps work out/relax some of my worst areas.

    Very cool. Keep up the good work.

    I am finally getting around to watching the first season of the Amazon Prime series, Fleabag. Kept hearing good things about it. And this will keep me away from the national news for a while.

    @SiubhanDuinne: yeah, right?
    Congrats John, because that’s great progress. I’m struggling to try to shed some weight myself and it’s tough.

    @Brachiator: loved Fleabag! Just started Good Omens. It was already on the watch list, but knowing that fundie Xtians hate it is an added inducement.

    Entirely conceivable I found them. Will shipping them back Parcel Post be okay?

    @satby

    Had high hopes for it but came away from Good Omens supremely underwhelmed. Worth a watch one time. Really disappointed with how they cheaped out on much of the SFX.

    For Pratchett work better put to live action, check out Going Postal or Hogfather on Prime.

    Congratulation Cole! And maybe not paying attention to Trump is helping keep your BP down. We know he’s a monster; details aren’t important at this point.

    @Leto:

    Not sure where you are in your recovery, but myofascial release is a godsend.
